Comments (4)Hi Sandi You have a great space to work with, and a lot of ideas for the space itself which is a great start. Ideally it would be best to sit down with a Designer and really dig into what you want from the space, taking time to really figure out how you want the space to feel as a whole. However, to get you started it's easy enough to create a concept design plan of the space from plans you have of the home, so if you'd be interested I'd be happy to take a look at the plan for both the basement and lounge, and send you something over to give an idea of how the design could look / be laid out, based upon the information you've posted above. (Free of charge of course) My email is - Kerrybryaninteriors@outlook.com If you can ping across the detailed plan (with measurements) for the two floors, I can have a basic drawing over to you by the end of the week, to give you some ideas.

Comments (15)Hi Steph, ideally your layout and 'priorities' should inform your build plans. I mentioned the extension width as currently you have roughly 5m2 of unusable space near the entrance of the kitchen and lounge doors. Extending outwards could potentially afford you room for a sofa or valuable space to pull out chairs around a table or incorporate a slim kitchen island/breakfast bar. The number of people in the home and the different items you want in the room (TV, sofa vs armchairs, etc) will help determine the type of layout advice people will be able to offer you as Ellie suggested above. The more detailed you can be about the specifics of your priorities the better. :) Worth consulting a specialist who can talk you through your requirements and provide you with a layout that works with your lifestyle before starting the build....See MoreKitchen/diner layout help please! 6m x 3m
Comments (13)Hi Lizzie, it’s really hard to see on the plan as some things were made by the builders. The large cupboard next to the fridge houses a washer dryer but they just put doors on the ‘hole’. We had normal height cupboards with half height on top plus skirting board to take it all to the ceiling so as to avoid dust traps. But extra high on the sink side so the tap would fit. Under the breakfast bar is a wine fridge and two wall shelf units - one had the back taken off so as to make it full depth for all our other booze bottles! Everything is from Wren. I can send you measurements if it helps but the plans are a mess as they have random bits stuck in places as our builders did lots of fiddling! Very happy to talk you through each unit if it helps. Amazing extendable table from danetti (the cheapest one they sold!)...See MoreKitchen/Diner Layout Help!
Comments (3)Thank you both! Extension is out of budget sadly so I need to work with what I have. I like the utility idea, and I definitely want to block up a door. I’m actually looking at bringing the kitchen door out into the hall to square off the room but am struggling to find anything similar. Renovation is a whole new world!...See MoreMiss Thorman

5 years agoI'd keep the WC under the stairs (especially if it's easier plumbing wise) and have a bigger kitchen personally. What is the porch at the back for? Could this become a utility cupboard? Then you'd have room for a sitting area in the kitchen too.

5 years agoIf you want to keep that wall, I wonder if you could create a new front entrance to the left?? Then have the current entrance as either a snug off the kitchen or a utility room

5 years agoI am not proposing knocking down walls of the two storey part of the house. I am however wondering if it is worth salvaging any of the current kitchen structure (marked with the red hoop) as I worry that it is likely not as substantial as the main house
